Moodle plugins directory: AutoEnrol

Adds functionality to automatically enrol users onto a course, either as they log into your Moodle site or as they acess a course. This plugin is primarily intended for use on courses which you want all users to be able to access but can also be configured for more advanced purposes.

When added to a course this enrolment plugin can enrol users onto a course automatically, either as they log into your Moodle site or as they click on the course. It is intended for use on site-wide courses such as "Moodle Help" or "Learner Voice".

In addition the plugin has advanced functionality to support autmatically grouping and filtering users based upon their attributes. Depending on how your user accounts are setup this may help you to give access to certain user groups.

Configuration of the plugin is managed by two permissions which allow administrators to easily control who has access to the plugin.

I too am having issues with it working in 3.6.3
I installed the plugin and configured it into a course I want all users to be enrolled in. I log in as a typical user and it goes to the course but doesn't enrol the user.
what am I doing wrong?
(I had this working fine in a 2.3 version way back when but I have recently upgraded to 3.6.3)

Hi, had high hopes for this plugin and although it works nicely in M3.6 was sorry to find it only has very simple filtering rules ... that is you can only apply 1 filter. Do you have plans to develop this so multiple filters could be applied ... for example autoenrol only part-time AND students on a particular route code (data coming from 2 profile fields)?

Hi Michael, the simple filter is used with white value to autocreate course groups. I think that is not easy to manage if multiple filter will used. Anyway multifilter is in the roadmap, I can't tell you when it will be released. I'm working on Reservation plugin for now.

Hi Rob,
if I understand you had configured autoenrol to enrol users on site login.
This is a known issue but I can't solve because is a moodle core issue.
When the user login in he/she is enrolled in autoenrol courses but this is done after moodle setup user info so the user is enrolled but it's not shown in dashboard.
The user need to wait for sometime or logout and login again to get it in the dashboard.

Hello!
I have the same problem, moodle 3.6.3, autorol configured to enrol on site login, and having the invalidsesskey message.
But in the configuration, when i put "Send course welcome message = NO" the error disappear.

Hi Ricardo,
did you tested several times with "Send course welcome message" set to Yes and set to No?
Is the problem directly connected with "Send course welcome message" setting?
I'm ask to you a confirm because I tried to reproduce the problem with several user roles Student, Admin, Teacher but I can't get the invalidsesskey error message.
Please help me to catch the bug, give me a detailed report of what you do and with which plugin version.

Is it possible to amend/control the group enrolments so that if a group already exists of the same name that was created manually, the plugin adds the new enrolment to this group rather than creating a new group?

Hi Edd,
groups are identified in autoenrol plugin by Group ID number so you can create groups manually but, when you add autoenrol plugin, you need to popolate the Group ID number with "autoenrol||" .
In this way autoenrol will use the old groups.
